Creative Writing

“Give me the money!” Edward said. Jefferson looked at him. “It’s my money. I stole it dude.”Edward took one step towards Jefferson. “I am the leader of this gang. Everyone gives what they stole to me so I can buy food and whatever we need. We need to work together to survive. I take care of you all, find us places to sleep, get food on the table. And together we can keep an eye out for each other. How often do I need to explain this to you Jefferson!” The rest of the gang watched silently how the argument between the two oldest boys went on. "We don’t steal from each other!” Edward growled and swung his fist backwards to throw a punch, but right there at that moment... Janice shouted; “Guys look there it’s Timmy and something’s wrong!”
